COMPLETE CHANGE IN BALKAN ISSUE Macedonia No Longer Chief Bone ! of Contention | (Correspondence of The associated Press.)

Change In Four Months. This shift of the Balkan issue, mak- ing it part of a great international game instead of a petty struggle of small states, has come about within the last four months. The allied powers were slow in realizing it, and their negotiations with Bulgaria and Serbia up to a recent date treated the question as the old fight over terri- tory in Macedonia. But all the time Germany was setting the scenes in the larger drama—the winning of Bulgaria and the linking of the Cen- tral Powers to Turkey and the near East.

Bulgaria considers herself the ag- grieved party of the Balkans. She claims to have done most of the fight- ing against Turkey over Macedonia, and to have received the least of the reward, the bulk going to Serbia and Greece, which Bulgaria claims, did not do the hard fighting. The Bul- garian legation furnished The Asso- ciated Press with a pamphlet review cf its case, showing the following dis- tribution of the territory taken from Turkey: “‘Serbia with the smallest territory tefore the war, received 39,000 square kilometers, of which 15,000 were fer- tile, and added 1,200,000 to her population. Big Gain for Greece. “Greece, next smallest in area and population, gained 54,000 square kilo- meters, of which 28,000 were fertile, and added 1,600,000 to her population, ‘‘Bulgaria, the largest in area and population, Teceived only 15,000 square kilometers, of which none were | fertile, and added only 400,000 to its propulation.” Then follows this ex- plosive official statement: “Is this possible? Yes! And be- cause of it, this is what Bulgaria de- mands: She is not satisfied with such a division; she demands a new one; she shuts her ear to proposals | of a Balkan Union in which she pays | all the expense.” Bulgaria Issues Pamphlet. Bulgaria has issued another pam- phlet, printed at the royal printing establishment at Sofla, entitled, “How the Serbs Behave in Macedonia,” giv- ing detailed accounts of alleged attro- | cities in Serbia’s part of Macedonia | against priests of the Bulgarian state church. These accounts are harrow- ing in the extreme, alleging that in some cases Bulgarians were crucified, others buried alive, others tortured until they died, with names and places. This pamphlet is givén as an cvidence of Bulgaria's claim that her people in Macedonia are being crushed. Another of Bulgaria's allegations is that Rumania took 8,370 square kilo- meters of Bulgaria’s Black Sea front while her hands were tied during the struggle with Turkey. This Black Sea country added 300,000 people to Rumania’s population, The people are Bulgarians, according to Bulgaria, and she wants them back, and the Black Sea front too. Other Bulgarian Aspirations. Aside from these official there are reports of other asy of Bulgaria.

Cherif Pasha, the Turk- ish agitator, has even asserted in a recent signed article in Paris news- papers, that the Young Turk element Pad agreed with Bulgaria to turn over Constantinople to that country, rather than let it pass into the hands of the Allies through their assault on the Dardanelles. Serbia’s attitude in the Balkans is summed up as the staunch and loyal friend of the Quadruple Allies, and their chief reliance in blocking the Austro-German advance. Serbia was the first to clash with her giant neigh- bor to the north, Austria, and thus precipitate the Eluropean war. Ser- Austria, barring her advance south- ward to the Mediterranean, and west- ward to the Adriatic. Serbia’s first aim, therefore, is to hold what she now has of Macedonia against the en- croachments of Bulgaria, and at the same time aid the Quadruple alliance by holding the advance of Austria and Germany southward. Serbia Denies Claim. As to Bulgaria’s claim of rights in Macedonia, and of alleged atrocities, Serbia simply denies them. She was willing to vield Macedonia to Bulgaria while the Quadruple Allles were hop- ing thereby to win Bulgaria over to a united Balkans. But that prospect has passed, and Serbia is now holding on to all she possesses in Macedonia, with the Allies supporting her. Greece's interest in the Balkan con- flict are partly local, partly interna- tional. Like Serbia she is defending her part of Macedonia, particularly Constantinople The Greek Legation has furnished The Assoclated Press with the report of Prof. Reiss of the University of Lausanne to the Greek Prime Min- ister, answering Bulgaria's claims as to Macedonia, and establishing by a mass of data that Cavalle, Saloniki and the great centers of Macedonia as well as the interior, are overwhelm- ingly Greek in population, language, and customs. This has been one of the chief internal points of issue, Bulgaria claiming the country to be essentially Bulgarian. Hopes of Greater Greece. But beside this local issue, Greece's great line on the Mediterranean and Aegean and her proxmity to Egypt, the Suez Canal, Turkey and the East, have inspired hopes of a greater Greece, restoring the prestige of an- cient Greece as one of the great powers | of the world. France has looked with sympathy on these aspirations, while Bulgaria pins her faith on Ger- many. At the same time Italy has hopes in the eastern Mediterranean, and one of the reasons Italian troops did not join the Anglo-French land- ing party at Saloniki was to avoid exciting Greece’s susceptibilities that her field of expansion was being en- croached upon.
